This structure defines the following parameters that are used to bind a zone with a cooling device for a particular trip point. .cdev: The cooling device pointer - .weight: The 'influence' of a particular cooling device on this zone. - This is on a percentage scale. The sum of all these weights - (for a particular zone) cannot exceed 100. + .weight: The 'influence' of a particular cooling device on this + zone. This is relative to the rest of the cooling + devices. For example, if all cooling devices have a + weight of 1, then they all contribute the same. You can + use percentages if you want, but it's not mandatory. A + weight of 0 means that this cooling device doesn't + contribute to the cooling of this zone unless all cooling + devices have a weight of 0.
